Okay so I am a 20 yr old girl, 5'4'', and weigh 118 lbs. I am in the market for my first sports bike and i've heard the Kawasaki Ninja 250r is the perfect beginner bike. I like the low price of this bike, and its fuel economy.... so i've heard a lot of good things about this bike but also that people say it gets boring after a while, and then need to upgrade to a better bike.
I will be moving 2 Daytona Beach in a couple weeks so that's pretty much where I will use the bike, and where I will purchase it. Do you think it would be better for me to get one used since it's going to be my first bike, or better to get one new? And if used what year should I get? So luckily my dad has the skills of a motorcycle mechanic so he'll help me out with any problems the bike might have, so I might not really need a new bike but I do want it 2 last for a very long time.
Also do you think this bike is good for long drives, like 3 hours long? Because I have family that lives 3 hours north and some live 3 hours south, (I live in the middle) and I would like to travel 2 see them but would this bike be good for that? Have any of you ever owned a ninja before, and do you think it would be good for me or should I maybe get a 500cc or 650cc.. what do u guys think? Would love 2 know any info u guys have on this bike, pros & cons, advice, etc..
Thanks you guys!!
